Greg Gillis has been a guilty pleasure that I have been hitting hard over the past few weeks. ‘Feed The Animals’ is a great album to run to (and if you pair it up with ‘Night Ripper’ you get nearly two hours of Girl Talk running motion), and while I am still unsure about how [...]

Little known producer ‘Gigamesh‘ has had some of his remixes covered by the peeps at ‘The Tape‘. As well as linking a nice remix of Lykke Li’s ‘Little Bit’ his take on Radiohead’s ‘Everthing In It’s Right Place’ is a refreshing approach to Kid A opener. Take a listen here.

Justin Vernon’s live interview on Triple J shows the lighter side of a story that is sometime all too serious; with the Aussies really setting the scene with a antipodean take on questioning.. Streamed thanks to Triple J. And a nice little clip from ‘Later….’ Bon Iver – Skinny Love (Live on ‘Later….’)

Nice then to relive the performance again in full (unbelievable) stereo sound thanks to npr.org I know that should I get [...]

Thanks to Damon Albarn guest DJ’ing Zane Lowe’s BBC show yesterday, we can all sample what the him and Jamie Hewitt have been working on for the upcoming Gorillaz project. As well as working on Blur’s upcoming album, 2009 will see Albarn working on the new Gorillaz album being recorded in Syria. “Broken” (Demo) “Electric [...]

Not being familiar with previous works from Animal Collective, I was surprised to read that many sources had rated ‘Merriweather Post Pavillion’ as such a landmark album. Sometimes not having a pre-conceived notion of something allows a clear perspective of things, but even after having read Pitchfork’s gushing review of the new release, I was [...]
